Is it a empirical fact or quite possibly an illusion? That’s my whole argument. And yeah it’s proving no free will in a narrow sense but this argument...

The if in premise 1 is a set up for premise 3 which states God does have beliefs about your future

I think the fact that there exists religious pluralism kind of discredits every religion itself. Think about it, if you had been born and raised elsew...

Aristotle gave an objection this argument by denying the principle of bivalence when it comes to propositions about the future. I.e. the statement tha...

I would define a miracle as an event which is so highly improbable that they’re the least probable occurrence at any given instance.
December 08, 2018 at 18:01
To defend premise 6, I'll say there is no strong evidence for a miracle since there is no accounts of a Miracle attested by sufficient number of peopl...

Here's a solid argument against skeptical theism: 1. If one accepts skeptical theism, then one asserts that humans (non-omniscient beings) cannot make...

Let me show why all three characteristics (omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent) are required of the Christian God: 1. If God is not omnibenevolent,...

By Quantum Mechanics I assume you mean Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle aka the observer effect. I want to clarify how the observer affect or anything...

Nice! I had to look this up. 1.Panpsychist claims there is mental element present in everything. 2.Property Dualism says while there is only one kind ...

I am glad you made this distinction since, for me, this is a far more reasonable belief than, God simply having the power to envision all future. Howe...

The problem I am posing is for an omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient God. If you don't believe that he is all three concurrently this contradic...

Why wouldn't he just start humanity at that advanced time, skipping all the pain and stuff

If Walt could become an atheist, can God become an atheist too?

Free will is the power of acting without the constraints of necessity or fate. If God has foreknowledge of a persons choice, then the person is constr...

The point is to show an omnipotent God cannot exist. Apparently, using Modus Tollens here. Think of the argument: If there is smoke, there is fire. Th...
October 08, 2018 at 04:33
Yes, exactly my point. These are people created by God. Being Omniscient he created them with the knowledge that they are going to have evil intention...
October 08, 2018 at 04:27
Umm so according to you God is not a real creature. Are you arguing for atheism?
October 08, 2018 at 04:14
Ok, my definition of God is a being who is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. My definition of Omnipotence is being able to do anything So I rewr...
October 08, 2018 at 04:10
I am talking about the general definition of God (you can think in terms of whatever Religion you do or don't follow). If it's still unclear, check th...

Yes, however, creating a rock so heavy that one cannot lift is not an impossible task. I can easily create objects so heavy that I cannot lift.
October 08, 2018 at 03:44
Is there a particular third option you have in mind?
October 08, 2018 at 03:41
We are talking about can and cannot. So either God can or cannot make such a stone. Let's say God chooses not to lift the rock but he possibly can, th...
